I Me Wed

Isabelle flips houses in Boston. This means she buys fixer-uppers, has them renovated, and sells them for a profit. She seems happy, and yet her friends and her mother Lillian think she needs to get married. Never mind that Isabelle doesn't want a relationship with a man, and Jim is just the latest loser she has dated.

One day Isabelle says to her best friend Amy that she loves herself, honors herself and cherishes herself. So Amy says she ought to marry herself. Isabelle thinks that's a good idea, and she begins planning a ceremony. Her obviously gay decorator friend Bill is SOOO excited and gets an online certification to perform a ceremony. Amy and Lillian, and most people, think she's being crazy. But feminists think Isabelle's action is "empowering". National talk show host Nancy Singer hears about the plan, and Isabelle goes from being one of those people who makes fun of the wackos on the show to ... one of the wackos on the show.

But will Isabelle go through with it? Her contractor Roy has a son Colin, who works for his father and conducts horse and buggy tours of Boston in 18th century costume. Colin calls Isabelle "Izzy" despite her protests, but they soon find out how much they really like each other. So will there be a groom at the wedding?

Erica Durance is fantastic--cute, funny, intelligent, tough but feminine. If you've seen her in light-hearted "Smallville" episodes, you know pretty much what to expect. Her chemistry with Paul Popowich is enjoyable but a little different from the sarcastic, superior attitude of Lois Lane around Clark Kent.

Everyone else in a leading role does such a good job, there's no point in singling anyone else out. Maybe the flamboyant Tom Allison. He is SOOO gay, in both senses of the word.

This is fluff, of course, but really well-done fluff. Don't expect Golden Globe caliber, but this is good romantic comedy.
